“Thevisionofachampionisbentover,drenchedinsweat,atthepointofexhaustion,whennobodyelseislooking’

--MiaHamn

“You can control two things, your work ethic and your attitude.”

—Ali Krieger

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small [wo]men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to

change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.

Impossible is nothing.” --Muhammad Ali
